God that thing is ugly, and I like "boxy" (i.e. "not round") car designs. I'm sure he'll sell millions of them though. The regular Teslas are all ugly and people can't seem to get enough of them.

Another truck that can’t do truck stuff…
Not for me, but I’m sure a lot of folks want one. An Aztek had sex with a Delorean - not loving, sensual sex either… something brutal and degrading that involved blood and feces- and this was the product. |

It might be odd looking, but it also has the most reservations of any car ever produced.
Its estimated between 1-2million reservations. People are tracking this off their reservation numbers that are in sequence. No way to tell the cancellations though. |

That article is spinning the story a whole lot worse than Elon’s point.
His point is don’t expect the next earnings reports to get a boost from the CT. Having lived on the production floor for the S, 3 and Y rollouts, he know what to expect. They will get it going but it’s going to take 12-18 months of hard work. As for styling, I don’t get it either. Apparently over a million people do enough to put money down. |

Getting things in and out of that truck will be much more difficult with that long slope like that. |

It's a big red flag when he talked about how tough it is but hasn't entered one in any off-road races.

i used to say as long as it is done without my money, do what you want, but then the government ran out of my money as a subsidy and then my kids and grandkids future taxes. now all i see are piles of corruption driven by my neighboring slaves of the state, but I get to look at myself in the rearview mirror with a special level of self loathing and regret, keeping in mind that the acolytes of the new-old religion wont stop until it costs me $10 a gallon to be "free".

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wait till they find out stainless steel still oxidizes and the least scratch is going to stand out since it's against the grain of the steel and can't be painted/filled in. A major ding would require a panel replacement I'm guessing if they make that available. Sounds cheap, or you could fit and weld it yourself which again sounds cheap. I predict a lot of these will get wrapped. |

The idea had potential, but the tech just isn't there yet.
Despite GD's hatred of EVs, electric motors outperform ICE. The problem isn't the motor though, it's powering it, and that's where EVs fail. Battery tech just isn't where it needs to be for EVs to succeed. The significantly higher power consumption these trucks have only make that matter worse. |

The F150 is one of the highest volume sellers in personal vehicles. Why wouldn't Tesla partner with Ford and get it done? I can see pretty quickly how this would benefit both companies.

Are they actually Stainless Steel, or just made too look like it? I wonder what they would look like painted? I googled and SS can be painted. Maybe a bit of a hassle, but not impossible. |

To be fair those aforementioned losers will say that about anyone or anything that has been a success. Its what they are. They cannot create, they can only tear down the work of others. Musk just happens to be the biggest target right now. Probably because he is one of the teeny tiny handful of very wealthy people on this planet who aren't 100% onboard with the current plans of enslaving the human race into a feudal control grid. |
